The wiki says they were all signed but not all numbered. I just though maybe you could look into this. Thanks and I'll send pictures if you need them.

thanks, frib. i am fully aware of prints which need to be added, but i appreciate your post, since it will make the job of adding them much easier! i was at jury duty for the past three weeks, so i've been slacking a bit when it comes to the wiki.

no worries! fun fact: adam implemented a killer search function (left sidebar of wiki). you can search for any word in a print/article name, and the results will update on-the-fly underneath the search entry box thingy.

Here is an extremely rare Shepard Fairey POW-USA poster. As you may know, Shepard originally designed the POW-USA posters on behalf of Witness Against Torture, a grassroots organization dedicated to shutting down Guantanamo and ending torture. In 2007, Shepard donated a set of POW-USA prints to WAT as we prepared to mark the 6th anniversary of the US opening Guantanamo for indefinite detention and torture.

Now, as Witness Against Torture prepares to mark the 10th anniversary - the prison is still open despite President Obama’s pledge to close it - Shepard has agreed to let WAT sell some t-shirts with his POW-USA image (shirts printed and donated by Shepard's friend Vivek Correia at Jiminy Stitch-It in San Jose) as a way to fund the campaign (please see our other auctions to see the t-shirts).

After the t-shirts were made, the Jiminy Stitch-It folks also printed a separate run of four posters on sheets of actual uncut United States currency (these are one dollar bills, each with its unique serial numbers), and Shepard then signed them. They have now donated this one poster ( Number 1 of 4) for us to auction on ebay as an additional way to raise money for our campaign to shut down Guantanamo.
